For background:-
JIM KERR
Kirkconnell born Jim, joined Queens for season 1959/60 from Kello Rovers and ended his Palmerston career 1970/71. He made 403 first team appearances – making him one of the highest in Queens history. A former Captain, he also chipped in with 14 goals. With his QOS career spanning the decade, Kerr could be looked upon as the Mr Queens of the 1960s.
JIMMY ROBERTSON
A tall winger with a left foot of mesmerising ball control, Jimmy Robertson was a match winning Queens player in two successful promotion campaigns. The outgoing Robertson made 400 first team appearances for Queens during his spells in Dumfries between 1980 – 1987 and 1989 – 1993.
PAUL BURNS
During his career, midfielder Paul Burns played in two spells for Queens punctuated with a season at Dunfermline Athletic. His most prominent moment was scoring for Queens in their 4-3 Scottish Cup semi final victory over Aberdeen in 2008. Paul left the club earlier this season to pursue a career outside football.
The Queen of the South Hall of Fame Ball takes place on Saturday 24th of October.
